Tips for the Best Butternut Squash Soup:

- Full-Fat Coconut Milk: Using full-fat coconut milk ensures a creamy and luxurious texture. Don’t skimp on the fat!
- Don’t Overblend: Blend until smooth, but avoid overblending, which can make the soup gummy.
- Fry the Sage Carefully: Watch the sage leaves closely while frying – they can burn quickly. A little oil goes a long way.
